Some fashion trends are about looking cool. This one is about feeling somewhere else.
This summer, dresses, matching sets, and breezy tops are covered in scenes that look like they were lifted straight off a vintage postcard. Think Italian coastlines, citrus groves, sailboats bobbing in turquoise water, colorful villages, palm trees, and hand-painted beach umbrellas. The clothes don’t just reference vacation. They are the vacation.
Maybe that’s why postcard prints have struck such a nerve this year. Not all of us are sipping spritzes on the Amalfi Coast, wandering markets in Portugal, or island-hopping in Greece. But for a few seconds while getting dressed? We can pretend.
Here are a few of our favorites, available to rent now.
Vacation mode: activated.
This matching set is the kind of outfit that makes every coffee run feel like a stroll through a seaside village. Add textured accessories and sandals, then let the print do the talking.
Picnic, but make it chic.
The print tells the whole story. Finish it with natural textures and easy wedges for a look that's ready for wherever vacation takes you.
A stroll through town.
Charming and effortless, this cityscape-print dress is made for wandering, window shopping, and lingering over lunch. We added blue accessories and a wide belt for a look that's ready to explore.
Wandering with no itinerary.
You packed light, yet somehow still brought all the fun. The destination-inspired knit, illustrated shorts, and pops of red are vacation dressing at its happiest.
Fashion has always been a form of escapism, and postcard prints might be this summer’s happiest example. They’re joyful, nostalgic, a little whimsical, and impossible to take too seriously. Even if your biggest adventure of the day is to the grocery store, make the ordinary feel a little more like a holiday.
